Sogni d'Oro
Nanni Moretti
Michele Apicella is an experienced young filmmaker. Gigio Cimino is an emerging talent who admires Michele and that Michele cordially despises. When Michele discovers that at the same time that his producer is going to bring out his new film, La Mamma di Freud, he is also going to produce Cimino's project, a musical comedy on 1968, the disdain turns to sarcasm. In parallel to this, Michele lives a difficult love story with Silvia, to whom he appears in a dream as a teacher she challenges.

It is in Sogni d'oro that there is the first appearance of the character of Michele Apicella who is developed in later films. The action focuses in on him, a sort of comical alter ego of Moretti the filmmaker: "In Sogni d'oro the group of friends is no longer there. (...) For the first time I have a name, my mother's. I give him the characteristics that I enjoy developing through the successive incarnations of the character." (N. Moretti) The recognition of his previous films and Moretti's perseverence in bringing them to the theatres have brought him the notoriety which enabled him to produce Sogni d'Oro with a more comfortable budget. "There is a new character, the audience. I think that the audience was the real new character in my life. The fact of being a bit well-known, the discussions, all that was new to me". (N. Moretti)
